My first time away from home over Christmas with no family near me. My first Christmas tree I have purchased...not real unfortunately...yet I can't help but to smile when looking at it. Such a big smile. I miss my mother most this time of year. Family is everything. Everything. I will be with my sisters in Las Vegas for Christmas Day. But missing my mother always. So many changes in the past year yet I wouldn't change a thing. Great job, great friends and an amazing family. More than most have. I'm incredibly grateful and lucky. And well...it's Christmas time...😍 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. 💙🎅🏻🎉🎄☃💙 #Christmas #firstchristmastreeincali #calichristmas #missyoumomma #obsessedwithchristmas #love #family #boom (at Huntington Beach, California)
